Problem Solved

PS3 can be left on as long as ya like, I've had my ps3 switched on for 7 days solid prior to the auto shutdown function xD

As for staying up, I find getting coffee, and start programming helps............................. well it does for me it keeped me up for a whole week with no sleep.. then after that I sleeped for almost 2 whole days.

Then again my times are buggered anyway.. yesterday I woke up at..... 10PM.. and probably going to go to bed at about 2AM tonight.. so yeah I'm used to long hours... maybe it's just me, I dunno. but do some programming and you'll stay up xD

Longest I've stayed up is about 37 hours. I've only ever gone on two occasions I can recall without sleep. This New Years with a friend to make it memorable. We walked through the town at 7 on New Years Day, it was like something from I Am Legend. I conked at 5 that day.

The other day was when I was about 11, many moons ago. It was a great time, stayed at a friend's house, we didn't sleep, party next day, far too much caffeine for our young bodies managed to get us to the night, but when it wore off and I began to come down I was so tired the only way I can describe it is like being intensely drunk. Things register slow with your mind, you can't remember anything and carrying out basic tasks is suddenly alot of mental work.

I dunno why I just told that story. Moral is don't bother, it's pointless. Get the minimum amount of sleep required (9/8 hours) and you'll be fine. You'll be living most of your life awake and you won't suffer the bad effects of sleep deprivation.
